Tweenalyzer - The Twitter Analyzer

Tweenalyzer helps you analyze your twitter fanbase by providing a visually pleasing data-centric summary on different aspects of your target audience.

• Twitter REST API was used to fetch the tweets based on the user provided query.
• A web interface using Python-Flask Framework was built to show graphical plots on a dashboard.
• Data analysis was performed using scikit-learn and pandas library.
• Google charts was used plotting the graphs on the web dashboard.

Project Tweenalyzer was completed as a part of the MSc in computing Science course MM802 (Multimedia Networking and Communication at University of Alberta).
